Nice update, and good work on the standards. The Countach looks particularly tasty

After arguing with people bashing the game then bashing some more in the main forum, this thread is a breath of fresh air, from someone who is obviously having fun with the game., regardless of its idiosyncracies.
Keep the standard faith too! Great to see some of the more obscure cars, especially some of the Japanese classics.
Great pics, thanks for the positivity and I so need to look at photomode myself now

Thanks again - I'm pleased that my game experience is worthwhile being shared... I have been thoroughly enjoying taking all of these models for a test drive (well it is keeping me from swearing at that intermediate Top Gear challenge 
).
@sems4arsenal - you won't be disappointed... that Quattro is a real joy to throw around

The last set was post-patch I think - though I am not entirely certain that I have seen much difference other than some improvement in the reflections.
Here is another big update - still testing the standards in my garage
Yet another Honda Civic
Did you guess I have a 'thing' for the Civic
Lil' Honda
I just had to buy the Escudo when I saw it available
It is absolutely mental!
Talking of mental... I even took the Panda out for a test drive
More understeer than you would think
I am having fun collecting some of the more 'normal' road cars
This Pug 106 was actually quite nippy around the streets of London
The Mk 1 Golf GTi was neither nippy nor fun
This Lotus was so much fun on soft comfort tyres, once I added the wing
I just wish I could sneak a wing onto the one for the Top Gear Challenge
I bought the Hyundai Coupe simply because it was yellow
Even I can make girly decisions sometimes
This Lancia was phenomenal
Trying to hook into the kerb on the corner
What a beast of a car!
This Tacoma was a beast too
A little loose at the rear added some fun into the mix
I did not really enjoy this Toyota much
I preferred this Mazda touring car
Nice crisp handling on this one
The Audi S4 however...
Handled like a three legged dog in detox
As well as the Honda Civic - I seem to be collecting the Toyota Celica too
And as far as Celicas go...
This one is OUTSTANDING!
My favourite car to date
I guess it just suited me - there was definitely a connection going on
I got my fastest Nordschleife lap time in it too
Oh... I need to mention this Suzuki Concept thing
It is as ugly as sin
But a really surprisingly fun drive - you should try it
I took the Scooby out for my first GT5 test drive on snow
Such a shame about the jaggies
I really didn't want to throw this ol' rally car around on the dirt or snow
It felt too precious for that
So I took the old Pajero Rally Raid out for some dirt fun instead
Toscana really is stunning when the light fades
This ageing Lotus Elan was great fun around Monza
This Skyline was quite fun too
Don't ask which model - they all look the same to me
Though I thought - this is the car to get my 'roll over' trophy with
Come on... just tip a little more
No such luck - the tyres caught the tarmac and swung me around back onto my feet, still no rollover trophy...
This Nissan is a real beast
I was pleasantly surprised by the handling
Unlike the handling of this... errr... Mercedes
If only the invisible barriers were gone - such photomode opportunities
The lap time was so dire I decided to attempt the Elk Test
And finally... I can hear your sigh of relief
The stunning Jaguar XJ220
This should be a premium model
I bet you didn't know I have a connection to the 220...
My brother was on the bodywork design team as CAD/CAM manager
Hope you enjoyed the updates - it's a good job I have such busy Bobs so I can afford to spend so much time testing these cars. Some real treasures keep turning up so it is time well worth spending

That Lancia clipping the kerb is a super shot. I have a Mazda Touring in my garage, it looks great but i havent tested it. The Elan has been out and i posted some shots also. And the Jaguar looks just stunning, have to get my hand on one in the future. Overall great work again!
